Lakers down Warriors sans LeBron

(UPDATED) LOS ANGELES: The Los Angeles Lakers, with LeBron James sidelined and their new recruits still getting up to speed, snapped a three-game skid with a 109-103 victory over the NBA-champion Golden State Warriors on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

Dennis Schroder led the Lakers with 26 points. Rui Hachimura added 16 and D'Angelo Russell — newly arrived in a trade deadline deal — chipped in 15 with five rebounds and six assists. Anthony Davis had a quiet scoring night with just 13 points on five-of-19 shooting.
